Random Friday

The kids are out of school today. They were also out of school yesterday.  Due to UEA.  Supposedly this is so teachers can go and do additional training and be better teachers.  It sounds like a good idea for no school right? Well that means the munchkins are home and the house is full of other munchkins.  Lots of fun stuff. However, I am starting to be concerned that one of Henry's best little pals, who is actually a girl pal, might have strange powers over him.  Resulting in things like this happening.


Should I be concerned?

On a completely different note.  Sam's last day of wearing braces was last Thursday.  This picture was taken as she was getting ready to walk in to the Ortho's office.
 
What a cute little "brace face." Here is a picture of her today.

What do you think was it worth all that money?  That we are still paying.  That we might be paying until the day we have to pay for her wedding.  Of course maybe with these perfectly straight babies she will marry a rich doctor.  Then it would totally be worth it, right?

That is it for this totally random post, unless you are dying to hear about the potatoes we dug today and how I started planting bulbs and cleaning up the flowers beds in an effort to get ready for winter.  What? You don't want to hear about that? Shocking!!

Happy Friday! Tomorrow is the last Super Soccer Saturday.  What a bummer.:)

Wow what a pretty smile, well worth the money! And poor Henry, I bet Dad wasn't home at that time. :)

She got her braces off so early? Holy cow! I was in high school. Lucky girl! They look great!

I think you have some blackmail with that nail painting picture. Now we know the secret of why he'll be the best behaved teenager on the block.

Thanks for the link to the Country Doctor's Wife. I loved her post. Last year G-Force (yes we do call him that... among other things) was at our tiny neighborhood public school. The personal attention he recieved was amazing. This year he is in a huge school, in the ghetto (really, it is in a terrible part of town), in a specialized program and he is still thriving.

The school you send your child to is not half as important as YOUR involvement in the child's education, and life in general.

--Pardon me, I now must step down from this soapbox before I fall and cause a concusion. --

By YOUR, I of course mean parental involvement in general.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Halloween and Cars

The Holiday season is officially upon us. The day of Trick or Treats is here. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the doorstep. The costumes are ready and the kids are excited for the night to begin. If there is anything that makes me feel young it is the holidays. The holidays feel me with excitement, creativity, and hope. Basically, in my opinion there is nothing better than the holidays. Yes, in this particular post I am choosing to ignore the stress that often accompanies the holidays. What stress? Last week was a very busy week. Tuesday night was the pinewood derby.  H. was a little intense when it came to building and constructing his car. He spent weeks researching learning all the tricks and tips. He grew increasingly impatient whenever Brent tried to interfere during the construction phase. The night of the actual competition his mom could see the look of intensity and competition written all over his face. Even as he casually looked over the competiti...
